Ali, over at IACW crafty website posted a little while ago about 'Store Cupboard Presents' . I thought her jars of chocolate chip cookie mix were fab and used her recipe to make a couple of jars to give away as pressies...
The reverse side of the tag holds the instructions. I got the jars from WILKINSONS and paid about £2 each. Smurf helped with the layering of the ingredients...
Once the jars were full of the different layers in the recipe, I turned my attention to the tags (which I used instead of sticky labels)...
I inked the edges of the tag and lightly over the front/back with red and green ink, then stamped "Happy Christmas" on with STAZON ink. I selected green ribbon to tie around the wooden spoon and red to go around the jar. I used very strong, thin, green crochet thread to tie the wooden spoon to the jar. Here's Smurf posing by the tree...
For now the jars are on display as they are so pretty!
yep... I'm loving the Christmas crafts.
[P.S. I will be the guest designer on IACW site on Christmas Eve.]
